Office Hours with David Meltzer

Well-Oiled Machine | Turning Reaction Into Response

September 21, 2026·30 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In today’s episode, I sit down with Nic Glazer to talk about what happens when even a well-oiled machine has an off day. We break down how small mistakes, missed details, exhaustion, and unexpected changes can quickly create interference, along with the importance of adaptability and personal accountability. I share how I use “stop, drop, and roll” to recognize my reactions to fear and respond with greater intention. We also discuss the value of studying your calendar, protecting non-negotiables, using non-time to increase efficiency, and recognizing the clues and patterns that help shorten the distance between an emotional reaction and a productive response.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
